Real Wedding: Farah and Zaid Part I

Muslim Wedding

We are back today with a gorgeous wedding shot by Timeless Lens Photography. The first wedding event, the holud (haldi) ceremony, took place at the Marriott Hotel in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Shagun Event Decorators and Event Planners worked with Farah to help her vision of red, orange and yellow wedding colors with pops of green become an experience for all their guests. All the guests put a bit of turmeric paste on the wedded couple’s face. It’s more of a fun cultural tradition than anything else. The paste is intended to cleanse the skin, and beautify and “prettify” the couple before the official wedding ceremony. Guests then feed the couple a bit of sweets (traditional kinds, brownies, or cookies), as a wish for a sweet future together.

Come back to see the couple’s wedding portraits at Crane Estate in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

Thanks so much for organizing such a great event. We were wowed by your kindness and generosity. The Shaadi Bazaar was an AMAZING event and I am so glad you had the opportunity to attend. Its always nice meeting new people and hearing great stories. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to take part and hear all about the upcoming weddings.

It Works Global – Nicole

This is the best wedding show catered towards the South Asian bridal market in Massachusetts and nearby states. I love the media kits sent to vendors before the show and a fast response to all the questions. The show is publicized well and turnouts are some of the best I have seen. Extremely well organized in following up with the vendors with all the registered visitor’s info. And a little food packet with home cooked snacks is such a personal touch!

I must add that Jewels N More had a great experience at the Shaadi Bazaar Wedding expo. The organizers did a wonderful job with giving attention to every detail and looking after the Vendors so well !!

…Everything was communicated clearly, instructions on how to promote the show over very helpful, we felt great coming into it! This was the best show we have been a part. Maintain the methods you have been using to get people to come and we had vendors will be sure to keep spreading the word as well. Fortunately there were not too many people there who were not getting married…
